Traditionally, the NFL gives the Super Bowl champs the season-opening game at their own stadium. This year, that would be on Thursday, Sept. 5. But the Orioles, who share a parking lot with the Ravens, already have a game scheduled for that night.

It's an issue that has sparked a lot of discussion but, so far, has no compromise. Both sides have their arguments against changing the date of the game.

NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell spoke to reporters Monday, describing the NFL's attempt to compromise with Major League Baseball.

"We're trying to work out an accommodation to allow the Orioles game to happen earlier in the afternoon and for the Ravens to celebrate their Super Bowl championship with their fans at home on Thursday night," he said.

The accommodation Goodell was speaking of would also include a financial offer, but a baseball source with knowledge of the discussion told 11 News that the Orioles don't see the offer as a compromise at all.

The source said the team feels that the NFL could just as easily move the opening game to Wednesday, as it did the New York Giants game last year during the Democratic National Convention. However, Goodell said the NFL doesn’t want to do that because of Rosh Hashanah.

The source also pointed out that the Orioles play a night game in Cleveland on Wednesday, so a late-night flight and day game in Baltimore on Thursday would put the team at a competitive disadvantage in a potential playoff race.

Goodell said the only other option would be to take the Ravens on the road for the season opener.

Ravens President Dick Cass said Monday that they're leaving it up to the commissioner to find a solution.
